They dismissed the captives and cleaned up the battlefield. Bai Xiaowen ordered the knights under Cecilia to rest and reorganize. They had been engaged in intense battles for days and were mentally exhausted. They had charged down the mountain on their last breath. Now that the battle was over, they felt even more exhausted.
After Cecilia gave the order, the knights finally heaved a sigh of relief. They didn't take off their armor and just lay down in groups of three to five.
Not long after, Qiao Rui and Han Xu led the knights from Baishi and arrived at Cold Spring Valley. However, they didn't need to participate in the battle anymore.
Bai Xiaowen had sent this group of knights as reinforcements because he wanted to leave a reserve team just in case. He wasn't sure about the fighting strength of the Iron Thorn Army surrounding Cecilia. If they were stronger than he expected, these thirty elite knights, along with Qiao Rui and Han Xu, would be able to turn the tide of the battle as a fresh force when the battle was at its peak.
Of course, it would be best if the reserve team didn't play a role.
During the long night, Bai Xiaowen and Cecilia talked softly, telling each other about what had happened in the past few months after they parted.
Li Shuyi stepped away gracefully, giving the two of them some space to be alone. However, after circling around, Bai Xiaowen sensed Li Shuyi's location with his spiritual senses. He sneaked to a valley and hid to eavesdrop.
Bai Xiaowen wanted to laugh, but he didn't dare to expose him. Cecilia wasn't a spiritual leader and couldn't sense Li Shuyi's location, so he just let her be.
"Dior, I thought I'd never see you again." Cecilia held Bai Xiaowen's face and kissed him.
Bai Xiaowen was touched, but also a little embarrassed. He knew Li Shuyi was eavesdropping …
This white rose from the north was as cold as an iceberg on the outside, but to her lover, she was as hot as a volcano. In fact, she had already guessed the relationship between Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi, but she didn't want to reveal it.
"Don't worry, Cecilia. Even if you die, I have a way to bring you back to life," Bai Xiaowen said.
Cecilia was stunned. "Save him? How is that possible? "
Bai Xiaowen smiled and took out the Holy Water of Resurrection. "This is something I got when I won a competition in my hometown … It's a little complicated, but you can think of it as a gift from the gods. This thing can give you a second chance at life. "
Cecilia looked at the bottle of glowing liquid. She was keenly aware of the surging vitality contained in it. Her eyes widened. "This... can really bring the dead back to life? It's amazing. "
Cecilia believed her almost immediately. She trusted Bai Xiaowen completely.
"Dior, you should keep this treasure for yourself. You will often encounter danger as you travel through the various planes. You need it more than I do, "Cecilia said.
Bai Xiaowen shook his head. "This bottle of Holy Water has no effect on people like Charlotte and me. It can only be used on you."
Cecilia found it hard to understand, but she nodded to show that she accepted this explanation. She said leisurely, "I really don't know what your hometown is like. They actually use such a precious item as a prize for a competition."
"This thing is considered a rare item in my hometown. It's not common," Bai Xiaowen said with a smile. "I was lucky to be able to get it."
Then, Bai Xiaowen told her about his adventures in the various planes. Cecilia's eyes lit up as she listened.
"Roaming the different dimensions, adventuring in the various planes of existence. This kind of life is really rich and colorful. "Cecilia sighed." I really want to go on an adventure with you. "
Bai Xiaowen's heart skipped a beat. "That's not impossible."
"Do you have a way?" Cecilia's eyes lit up.
Bai Xiaowen narrowed his eyes and thought for 0.1 seconds. Then, he said, "There is a way, but … you'd better weigh the pros and cons of using this method."
As he spoke, Bai Xiaowen took out the S + -grade item, "Strong Follower Contract."
"This is a follower contract. After you sign it, you will become my follower. From then on, you can follow me to explore the various planes of the Spiritual Realm."
Bai Xiaowen said seriously, "However, there is one thing you need to pay attention to. Although the follower contract is not strict, there is one basic point … After signing it, the follower's life and death are in the hands of the master of the contract. "
Cecilia was a little surprised. There was hesitation in her beautiful eyes. "This … is not a big deal. For you, even if I die, I will have no complaints. But this kind of contract is a master-servant contract … After signing it, I will become your servant. Although it is only a master-servant relationship in name, I still find it hard to accept. "
Bai Xiaowen nodded. "This is the only way you can explore with me. No matter what, I will respect your decision. "
Cecilia thought for a moment and said, "Actually, White Stone City has everything for me. My family, friends, and subordinates are all there. Although I would like to see you often, I am a little reluctant to leave White Stone Hill. "
Bai Xiaowen said with a smile, "That's true." He had never intended to make Cecilia his follower. The reason he took out the contract was that Cecilia had asked for it, and Bai Xiaowen had given him this method.
As the two of them talked, Cecilia finally felt tired and fell asleep on Bai Xiaowen's shoulder.
Bai Xiaowen turned his head with difficulty and glanced at Li Shuyi.
Li Shuyi: "(*? Ω?)? Chi chi chi … "
Bai Xiaowen: "_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _"
When the sun rose, Cecilia's hundred-man knight regiment had finished resting. Bai Xiaowen reorganized the two knight regiments and secretly set the marching destination: Black Rock City!
…
Ten kilometers outside Black Rock City, at the foot of a mountain, in a dense forest.
There was an infantry regiment with a total of a hundred people hidden in the forest. This was the infantry regiment with shields that Bai Xiaowen had sent out in advance. They hurried and finally arrived at their destination at noon on the second day — the outskirts of Black Rock City.
The knight captain, Phil, was a careful person. He rode around and finally decided on this hidden terrain so that the enemy would not find them and ruin the Lord's plan.
After setting up camp and resting in the forest, Phil looked towards the southeast where Cold Spring Valley was located and fell into deep thought.
"I wonder how Lady Cecilia is now … Captain Phil, what do you think?"
Phil, who was sitting under a coniferous tree, heard someone say the same thing at the same time as he thought of this! He was startled and looked up to see a strong man. He recognized this man as the captain of the hundred-man infantry regiment with shields. His name was Anton and he was born as a miner.
Anton was surprised by Phil's reaction. "Did I say something wrong? Captain Phil. "
"No, nothing." Phil exhaled and answered Anton's question. "At this time … the battle in Cold Spring Valley should have started long ago. I just don't know the result of the battle. I really hope that the Lord can save Lady Cecilia. "
"He definitely can. The Lord is good at creating miracles. I've seen with my own eyes that he has turned the 'impossible' into reality many times, "Anton said.
Phil forced a smile. The reinforcement this time was too weak. Compared to the Ironthorn Family's army of thousands, the number of soldiers from White Stone City was too small. It was uncertain whether they could save Cecilia.
